Song Lyrics – Itchy Twitchy Feeling – Bobby Hendricks

Sittin’ here a wonderin’ what its all about

This rock and roll music that makes you shout

You tune in on Band Stand they’re a jumpin’ like mad

And they’re dancin’ they’re doin’ it,don’t look bad

You get that itchy twitchy feelin’

You start a rockin’ and a reelin’

Soon your arms and legs start flappin’

Like a hound dog mouth a yappin’

You’re a rockin’ and a rollin’

You don’t understand but it sure feels nice

You thought you might try it bout once or twice

You started with that dance they call the stroll

But you felt much better doin’ rock and roll

repeat

You come in the house with your hair on end

Nobody had to ask you where you been

You come in the house you’re still jumpin’ like mad

I’ve seen alot of people with it but a you got it bad

repeat

Don’t understand it what you’re talkin’ about

Must be something bout this music that I don’t know

I went to a hop and it didn’t take long I

got the feelin’ somethin’ was a goin’ wrong

repeat

Soon your arms and legs start flappin’

Like a hound dog mouth a yappin’

Soon your arms and legs start flappin’

Like a hound dog mouth a yappin’
